You can get a servings from any of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A medium sized piece of fruit<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 raw, cooked, frozen or canned fruits or vegetables but it has to be in its own juice<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 cup of 100% juice<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of leafy greens or 1\/4 cup dried fruit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are extremely active and have a high calorie diet, you need to eat 7-9 servings of fruit and vegetables instead of five. Make sure the products you consume are low in sodium and don&#8217;t have added sugar. There are lots of ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your diet, so be open-minded and creative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fit Link:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"fruit and vegetable servings\" href=\"http:\/\/fittip.me\/f8Vynx\">How to get 5 servings a day without trying<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"health and fitness tips\" href=\"http:\/\/www.withamymac.com\">WithAmyMac.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that we should eat five servings a day of fruits and vegetables.
